We are so thankful for the safe, nurturing environment they provide and highly recommend this school to any family looking for the best start for their little one!
- YSYaneshia SmithSep 3, 20255.0Shout out to Nay with her welcoming energy when I entered the Goddard school and the infant teacher Miss Williams is so amazing. I’m happy my son will be in good hands!
- JSJacqueline SpearsJun 30, 20251.0Today, I visited Goddard with high hopes that it would be the right place for my 4-year-old son, who is autistic. I left feeling disappointed, unheard, and honestly like my time was wasted. The first staff member who helped me was kind, and I appreciated that. But when I met with the person who was supposed to tell me about the school, she spent the entire time talking about Goddard in general—its programs, the other students—without once asking about my son, his needs, or what I was looking for. I eventually had to interrupt just so I could explain a few important things about him. I also shared that my son eats a very limited diet, including peanut products for protein, which we would send in a bottle. I was immediately told peanuts aren’t allowed on the property, with no effort to explore solutions or offer understanding. Overall, I left feeling deeply let down. I know there are better schools out there that will take the time to truly understand and support my son, and that’s exactly what I intend to find.
- BCBrianna ColemanJun 9, 20255.05 stars for these women who work directly with my kids daily! Miss Nae, Miss JJ, & Miss Shruti are great staff members! Nae is very attentive to all kids and I see the way parents in the building stop and look for her and the way she doesn’t hesitate to look out for all kids and she reinforces the core values that I teach my children. She is not the type of person who comes in for the paycheck but someone who enjoys building genuine connections and even brings in clients who love her the moment they meet her! Such a GEM! Miss JJ is so kind and is always teaching & setting GREAT examples for the little ones in EVERY class she’s in. The way I watched her de escalate a toddler while showing compassion and offering comfort when he got upset while still following through with the standard of cleaning up was phenomenal. And the young baby gave his ASSENT to completing the task she presented. This is something she does DAILY and I love to see it. Ms Shruti has helped me to reinforce positive things with my toddler and is a great motivator for my kid to come to school everyday. She literally looks for her teacher on the regular and I’m appreciative of the way to she helps her learn. She was a big help during her potty training once my daughters previous teacher left and she has been great!
